GUARANTEED PROVENANCE

Provenance in fine wine

When it comes to purchasing wine, provenance is of utmost importance. A wine’s history – where it’s sourced from and how it’s been stored – can have an enormous influence on the eventual enjoyment it provides. At Justerini & Brooks, we can trace nearly every case back to the domaine, estate or Château it originally came from; we ship from over 200 wine producers throughout the world.

Wines not bought directly from the vineyard are either sourced from trusted suppliers, with whom we share the same philosophy and rigour in buying, or from our own network of Cellarers customers. These customers’ wines are stored in optimal conditions in Octavian Corsham and, in the vast majority of cases, have been stored by us since the wine was first shipped. We do not purchase wine from auctions.

We feel it is equally important to for our customers that the case they buy and leave in storage with us is exactly the same case they subsequently have delivered. This may sound obvious and straightforward, yet we are one of very few merchants to have taken measures to ensure this.

We have created a system where every case is independent, thereby ensuring a trail of ownership and peace of mind for every customer.

The Journey

Justerinis ensures that every case of wine stored with Cellarers (Wines) Ltd has a unique identifier and customer’s name, almost unheard of in the industry as it is expensive to administer. These details are printed and placed on every case which is logged and recorded under your account name and kept in the world’s most renowned storage facility, Octavian Corsham.

This information is sent from our systems to the warehouse every day to ensure the trail of ownership is verified and upheld.

While customer reserves are stored in Corsham, our physical stocks are kept in Hoddesdon, further providing a geographical separation between customers’ wines with Cellarers and Justerinis’ own stock.

Further Reassurance

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is a legally separate limited company from Justerini & Brooks which currently holds approximately £450 million worth of customer reserves. It is fully insured to catastrophic loss. Many merchants will state that wine in their care is fully insured, but in reality this is on an individual case basis with insufficient cover for total loss as this is prohibitively expensive. The cover provided by Octavian and Justerini & Brooks is unmatched.

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is audited by PwC every year.

Chris Kissack,

The first vintage here to wear the grand cru classé label, about which I sense proprietor Karl Todeschini is rather proud. It is 75% Merlot with 25% Cabernet Franc in the blend, and there is no traditional second wine (that role is occupied by Distique, which is not really a ‘second wine’), production of this cuvée amounting to 140,000 bottles. The élevage is in 30% amphorae, 25% new and 25% second-fill oak barrels, and the rest in large oak vats. A focused and aromatically charming nose of bramble and currant fruit with notes of scented sandalwood, cedar and toast here. The palate continues with a remarkably juicy and accessible style, bright and pure, with brambles, blackberries, dark chocolate and iodine, set in a modest and sinewy frame, with a fine and coherent layer of tannins providing support. A deliciously mouth-watering style, with a finish filled with joyously sappy tannins. A wine which will drink well in a few years, but which will cellar well too. What a super result in this vintage. The alcohol on the label is 14.5%.

This is excellent. No question that it has changed from the early days of this wine, closer to the main Troplong character but that fingerprint of limestone is still very much here, with chalky tannins, coupled with ripe berry fruits, crayon, crushed rocks and a ton of damson and smoked vanilla bean. Remi Monribot cellar master, Aymeric de Gironde director. Cold soak systematically down to 2-3C for one week at least to really focus on the aromatics (after debourbage), First year with a slice of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, 35% in vat and 65% one year old barrel (from 2023 they have added large oak casks).No fining, low filtration.

Antonio Galloni,

The 2022 Mondot is a gorgeous, seductive Saint-Émilion. Soft contours wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, new leather, spice and blood orange. Medium in body and gracious, the 2022 is all charm. This is the first vintage that incorporates a touch of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Floral and spice overtones lift the finish effortlessly.
